AGU session notice for IN037: Open Technologies Facilitating Data Center Collaboration
From: Jessica Garron <jigarron@xxxxxxxxxx>
****************************************************************************************
Dear Colleagues and Fellow Scientists,
The Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF) and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) are pleased to be co-hosting a session at AGU exploring the use of open source technologies to facilitate data synthesis. We invite researchers, developers and users of open source data sharing tools to submit abstracts demonstrating how these technologies have benefited their research goals and collaborative efforts. Below you will find the session title and abstract for your consideration.
Session IN037: Open Technologies Facilitating Data Center Collaboration
Session Abstract: Science data centers share a mission: to make their data available to as many users as possible. In this age of cross-discipline data synthesis, access tools for acquiring and harmonizing data from disparate sources become valuable, if not essential, for the modern scientist. This session will highlight open source technologies used to support this endeavor. We invite demonstrations and engaging presentations of successful collaborative projects and pragmatic techniques for developing rich data applications. Presenters may show live demonstrations on self-provided computers. Internet connectivity is expected; simulated demonstrations should be prepared as a backup in the event of network problems
AGU abstract submission is open until August 8, 2012, the guidelines for which can be found here: http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/scientific-program/abstract-submission-policies/
Additional session information can be found here: http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/session-search/single/open-technologies-facilitating-data-center-collaboration/
We look forward to hearing how you are using these technologies, and to exploring how future collaborations will benefit the scientific communities we serve.
Best regards,
Jessica Garron
